Hi Patti! Nice to "see" you!

Did anyone else notice that the girl on the bike is the only one on the whole video that would fit right in, style-wise, in 2011? Bell bottoms were always a disaster on a bike!

Enjoyed watching Foxy and her 2 teenage fox kits in the backyards this morning. I know how she feels. They are big enough to want to go off on there own & do things but not quite ready to be completely self- sufficient.

I can't put this on facebook because my neighbors are on my friends list. One of them doesn't care, one is convinced the fox will eat the dogs & maybe the grand baby, one likes it but is friends with the neighbor who wants the fox dead as wildlife does not belong in the yards. Tried to explain that she eats the overabundance of rabbits and chipmunks.

Why do people buy the biggest yard in the neighborhood and:

Never sit on the deck?

Have only a mini dog that must be supervised at all times?

Let the bushes at the back become a jungle?

Then complain that there are foxes & possums & rabbits?

Thank you for my rant time. Carry-on with Psilly business.

Ahh, the imponderables of life!!

For the same reason people buy the biggest off-road vehicle they can find

Do not know how to drive it

Use it only to go grocery shopping

And complain about the price of gas :D

Hope the foxes keep on eating the bunnies! :)

Those are also the neighbors who cut down the apple tree in their yard, cut down the lilac bush in YOUR yard, and have no sense of psillyness.

On another note, I think I am going to take my aimless-not cleaning self kayaking. And not fall in. Maybe. Or perhaps I shall.

These ones with the big yard, don't cut things down & its frustrating to the rest of us that it hurts. 3 years of fighting the poison ivy they won't take care of that comes in others's yards. Told them how to. finally Hub went over the fence & took care of it. They have old trees with dead branches that are going to fall on other peoples yard. When thier 5 pound dog tries to do dog things, like chase a rabbit, they panic. They hate when thier dog wants to sniff other dogs. I loved the people who lived there years ago. Had 2 big dogs that tore up the yard. People would be out in the yard with them. Foxy wouldn't like the dogs tho.

Teeny dog would zip thru the fence when he was young and try to play with my dog at the time, a lab, pit, pointer mix. My son jumped in just in time as my dog was about to share his stick ( some would call a firewood log ) with the little one by dropping it on him.

Speaking of sons..........

(sorry I'm a little late for that conversation)

......my son was just cast as a zombie extra in a film called Christmas With the Dead. He heard it was being filmed two houses down from him and they needed zombies, so he rushed over. One day of zombie school and one night of filming.

Makes a mother proud.

Ah yes! A Zombie son! You can now tell everyone he is an actor in a real film! But, did he have to take a drug test for this job like J did?

Just saw your other post in the Meeting Room. So you are in Auckland. When she is in NZ, Mushroom is near ChristChurch. I think she is currently visiting the Northern Hemisphere. She likes our summer better than the NZ winter.

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
